Question 850 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. All types of lashing gear used aboard Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels, including wire rope, webbing, and chain, should be properly stowed when not in use. This is a safety requirement to prevent the lashing gear from becoming a hazard or causing damage when not secured. Leaving any type of lashing gear unsecured on the deck can pose a significant risk to the crew and the vessel. The Coast Guard regulations mandate that all lashing gear must be stowed in a designated storage area when not actively being used to secure cargo on Ro-Ro vessels.
